Just walked through the supermarket by where my ex and I lived. It was so cathartic. I often forget the depths of crazy.
When I passed the cream cheese I remembered the panic of them being out of the only cream cheese one of his cats would take her pill with. so many other things that were nuts.

This is BS.
I ran for office in a red state and won with 80% of the vote. I regularly talk about my identity when I knock doors. The key is to do so a way that connects to other issues (e.g. being trans shapes how I think about ALL healthcare access, threats to education, etc.).
It's that simple.
